Odell Beckham Jr. was born on November 5, 1992, under the zodiac sign of Scorpio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. His father, Odell Beckham Sr., was a standout running back at Louisiana State University (LSU), while his mother, Heather Van Norman, was a successful track and field athlete also at LSU. He has two siblings: a brother named Kordell Beckham and a sister named Jasmine Beckham.
Odell attended Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he excelled in multiple sports, including track and field, basketball, and football. His athleticism and versatility stood out early, but he ultimately focused on football as his primary sport. After graduating from high school, he enrolled at Louisiana State University, where he joined the LSU Tigers football team and played as a wide receiver.
Beckham made a significant impact during his college football career, showcasing his speed, agility, and exceptional catching abilities. In 2014, he declared for the NFL Draft and was selected in the first round by the New York Giants as the 12th overall pick.
Soon after joining the Giants in 2014, Beckham suffered a hamstring injury that caused him to miss training camp and the beginning of the regular season. However, upon his return, he quickly made a name for himself with a series of remarkable performances, including one-handed catches that gained widespread recognition. It is noted that Beckham has a large hand size, which contributes to his unique catching ability—famously making a three-fingered catch that went viral.
Despite suffering two major injuries over the years, Beckham’s overall performance in the NFL remained strong. In the 2015 season, he delivered standout performances but was suspended for one game due to a series of on-field altercations that were deemed safety violations. In 2016, during a game against the Dallas Cowboys, he was fined $12,154 for an excessive celebration following a touchdown.
